I thought it would be nice to offer a little update with regards to the organisation, in particular from a "person" perspective. |
|||
I outlined the various areas of activities of the Foundation, to try to identify in which areas we were staffed and in which areas we were either understaffed or not staffed at all. By staff, I do not necessarily mean "employee" as it may be volunteers from the community, interns, pro-bono help, contractors etc... |
|||
<div style="padding:1.5em 1.5em 0 1.5em; background: #F8F9FA;"><div class="wmf-header-text" style="font-size: 120%;"> |
|||
But the fact is, when an area is under-staffed, the job either is not done at all, or poorly done by other staff members (on top of their regular activity), or poorly done by board members (who can not take |
|||
=== {{int|wikimedia-movement-blog-label}} === |
|||
care of what they should take care of). These under staffed areas or not staffed areas should be a focus of attention. |

</div></div> |
|||
When I accepted to become chair of the board, I indicated that one of my priorities would be to work on the organization of the Foundation. I renewed that wish early 2007, making it a top priority along with |
|||
"quality", "recognition as a charity" and "outreach". |
|||
{{WMF Blue Divider}} |
|||
I also wanted to give you a feedback on what has been achieved in terms of organization since then, and what is currently still not satisfactory. |

The Foundation mostly relies on support from individuals. Please consider making a donation today, be it '''time, [[fundraising|money]] or [[m:Wikimedia_servers|hardware]]'''. The [[Benefactors]] page is dedicated to some of the companies and individuals helping to sustain the Wikimedia projects.
